1 A Place of Three Cultures
2 A Place of Three Cultures A broad square in Mexico City stands as a symbol of the complexity of Mexican culture. The Plaza de lastresculturas The Three Cultures is located on the site of an Aztec center that fell to the Spanish in a 1521 battle. In the center are the restored ruins of an Aztec temple pyramid. On one side of the square is a church built by the Spanish conquerors in On another side, twin office buildings of glass and concrete represent Mexico s modern culture. A busy eight lane highway runs past the plaza. Together, these three cultures Indian, Spanish, and modern make up modern Mexico. The result is a nation aware of the traditions of the past and the possibilities of the future. Aztecs and Spaniards Drawing on elements from earlier cultures, the Aztecs built the most powerful empire in early Mexico. By the early 1400s, their capital city of Tenochtitlan was the center of an empire that spread over much of south-central Mexico. Tenochtitlan, built on a n island in a lake, occupied the site of modern Mexico City. On its main square were great temples and the palaces of Aztec royalty. The city had open plazas and huge Market places. In the 1400s, it was one of the largest cities in the world. An estimated 60,000 Aztecs gathered each day to trade goods. The Spanish Conquest Spanish adventurer HernanCortes, with six hudred Spanish soldiers, marched into Tenochtitlan in the Spaniards had come inland from Mexico s Gulf Coast, making allies of the Aztec s enemies along the way. Within two years, the conquistadors, or conquerers, destroyed the Aztec empire. Tenochtitlan and other Aztec towns lay in ruins. The Spanish then went on to conquer the remaining indiangroups in Mexico.
3 New Spain Four social classes emerged as the Spanish settled New Spain. At the top were the peninsulares. This group, those born in Spain, held high official positions. The next highest group were the criollos, people of Spanish ancestry born in the Americas. Mestizos, people mixed ancestry, ranked third, and the Indians ranked lowest. Over the next three hundred years, life in New Spain followed these strict social lines. As in other Spanish colonies in the Americas, Indians provided the labor on Haciendas. These were large, Spanish owned estates of land, usually run as farms or cattle ranches. Both the haciendas and the Indians who worked on them were granted to the conquistadors as rewards by the Spanish King. Under this system, known as the encomienda, landowners were supposed to care for their workers welfare. But in fact low wages and constant debt forced most Indians to live a slave like existence. Road to Democracy Spanish colonial rule continued into the early 1800 s. Then the resentment the criollos felt for the privileged peninsulareserupted into conflict. In 1810 a criollopriest named Miguel Hidalgo called for a rebellion against Spanish rule. His cry sparked a war of independence. By 1821, the independent nation of Mexico was established. But while Mexico had finally achieved indendence, the new nation was not democratic. The search for democracy took about another hundred years. During that time, the country went through a series of political struggles and even a civil war. Strong military leaders ruled as dictators, while the people wanted democracy.
4 The Mexican Revolution In 1910, peasants and middle class Mexicans rebelled. In the Mexican Revolution, they stood up to the military dictator and the landlords who together controlled the country. By the time the fighting ended in 1920, Mexico had a new president and a new constitution. The new government promised land, bread, and justice for all. The democratic republic established by the Mexican Revolution remains in place today. Mexico, like the United States, is a federal republic headed by an elected president and congress. Unlike the United States, however, one political party held power. Called the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI), this party maintained control of Mexican politics for decades. PRI power diminished in 2000, when Vicente Fox of the National Action Party was elected President. Social Conditions Mexico has worked to preserve both its Indian and Spanish heritages. Nearly all Mexicans use Spanish as their official language. People of Indian descent, however, often speak their ancestral languages at home. The constitution grants freedom of religion, but most Mexicans are Roman Catholics. Although Mexico has made great economic strides in modern times, a minority still holds much of the country s wealth. The country is still working to achieve social justice and create economic opportunities for more people. Rural Life Most people in the Mexican countryside work in agriculture. In 1910 nearly all Mexican land that could be used for farming was part of about 8,000 haciendas. After the revolution, the government began a program of buying out landowners and breaking up their large haciendas. The estates were divided among landless peasants. The government still follows this policy of land redistribution. About half of the haciendas have been broken up in
5 Rural Life (continued from previous slide) The government awarded most of the reclaimed land in the form of ejidos, farmland owned collectively by members of a rural community. Many ejidofarmers practice subsistence farming. They grow only enough crops to meet their family s needs. Approximately one third of Mexican farms, however, are huge commercial farms owned by individuals or by farming companies. These commercial farms and some ejidosraise cash crops, farm crops grown for sale and profit, such as corn, sugar cane, coffee, and fruit. An estimated 3 to 4 million rural Mexican families have neither the land nor opportunities for work. Some try to coax crops from land unsuitable for farming. Many landless, jobless peasants become migrant workers. That is, they travel from place to place where extra workers are needed to cultivate or harvest crops. At harvest time many migrant workers also cross the Rio Grande into the United States. While some have permits to cross the border, others cross illegally. Urban Life The heart of modern Mexican culture is its urban areas, where three quarters of Mexico s population lives. Mexico City is one of the largest urban areas in the world and is still growing. For many Mexicans, city life means better job opportunities than those found in the countryside. Cities also offer chances for education and exitement. Although there is a small, wealthy, educated upper class in the cities, most urban dwellers in Mexico are the very poor and must struggle to survive. A growing middle class includes government workers, professionals, and business owners. Mexico s working class citizens are generally skilled workers who maintain strong ties to traditional Mexican culture. They may live in adobe block houses in older neighborhoods or in new worker apartment complexes.
6 Economic Activities In 1993, the United States, Canada, and Mexico formed the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), which was designed to compete with the European Union. NAFTA phased out trade barriers among the three countries. By 1999, Mexico s trade with the United States and Canada had nearly doubled. Manufacturing increased and unemployment declined. Encouraged by its experience in NAFTA, Mexico pursued new trade agreements with other countries. Major Industries Two of Mexico s most important economic activities are petroleum extraction and tourism. Great reserves of petroleum lie off Mexico s Gulf coast near the city of Tampico. However, because Pemex(PetroleosMexicanos) is a state-owned company, government revenues rise and fall along with oil prices. Climate, scenery, tropical beaches, and a rich cultural history make tourism another major source of income for Mexico. Resort cities such as Acapulco and Cancun draw tourists from all over the world. Investment dollars pour into these resort cities. Tourism is important for another reason. Manufacturing has long contributed to Mexico s economy, with Mexico City as the country s leading Industrial center. But factories create a heavy load of pollution. In Mexico City, particularly, polluted air from factories and cars collects over the city because mountains trap the air on three sides. Tourism is a cleaner economic alternative. In fact, Mexicans call it the smokeless industry.
7 Border Industries Clustered along the United States-Mexico border are more than two thousand maquiladoras. These are factories that assemble products almost exclusively for consumers in the United States. In 1980, these factories employed approximately 200,000 workers. Today, more than a million people work in maquiladoras. When maquiladoras first appeared in the Mexican economy, many people expressed concerns that the work was tedious and the pay was quite low. However, as employment in maquiladoras has increased, so have the skills of workers. Maquiladoras have also profoundly changed the appearance of cities in northern Mexico. Manufacturers have sprung up all across the region. The increase of pollutants from maquiladoras has raised concerns about damage to heath and the environment. Many factories have been accused of air and water pollution and improper disposal of waste products. The Mexican government continues to encourage job growth while monitoring the impact of industry on the environment.
